I have seen this movie several times and it is really scary. It is a true story about a seemingly wonderful doctor/ex-husband (John Ritter) who is always so caring and helpful to his sickly ex-wife (Marg Helgenberger).

Marg has had a very strange, undiagnosed disease that began while married to John. She has continually gone from doctor to doctor and grows weaker day by day. However, no one can determine what is causing her symptons.

John is remarried, but still keeps very close ties with Marg and his daughters. He seems like the perfect friend, ex-husabnd, and doctor. Suddenly, Johns second wife begins to develop the same symptons as Marg. John takes her out of the country for treatments and when they return from their trip, the wife seems 100% cured. Then, suddenly, the wife dies and John has her cremated.

No one seems suspicious, except Marg. She begins an investigation, which leads to the truth about her own illness, as well as the death of the second wife.

I think this is so scary because it did happen and it shows how easily a doctor could misrepresent himself and cause harm if he were inclined to do so. It also shows how trusting we as a people are of one another and what the consequences can be.

I'm a fan of both John Ritter and Marg Helgenberger and this was very good! Highly suspenseful (originally I believe I saw it on the Lifetime cable station). I would recommend this movie.

Excellent! just when you thought you know John Ritter (Threes Company/The Colony) he plays a complete monster with complete success!

The dnd came as though it was new.I always loved John Ritter in Three's Company but he also was so talented in playing serious rolls..Miss him so...I am very happy with it..Sincerly Marylynn

This is a very good true story and John Ritter was excellent as the villan and I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes true murder movies.

We really enjoyed the movie.. Of course I have always enjoyed John Ritter. Jean Link
